For starters, the enforcement date is actually today. The May 25th enforcement date is scheduled for European time; many European Union countries are approximately six hours ahead of Eastern Time in the United States. Later on this afternoon the clock will strike midnight throughout Europe, signaling the enforcement of perhaps the most stringent, comprehensive set of regulations to affect IT …

The perceived benefits of low cost storage, per-usage pricing models, and flexible accessibility—and those facilitated by multi-tenant, public cloud providers in particular—are compelling. Across industries and use cases, organizations are hastening to migrate to the cloud for applications that are increasingly becoming more mission critical with each deployment. What many fail to realize (until after the fact) is that the …

The dichotomy between cloud computing and security is readily apparent; for years, security was touted as one of the caveats of utilizing the cloud. Depending on who you talk to, it still is. On the one hand, there are those who cite the security benefits of the cloud, and those of public cloud providers in particular. Proponents claim it’s difficult …

Organizations running Business Intelligence in the cloud realize a number of distinct advantages that vastly outstrip those of on-premise deployments. The former facilitates unparalleled scalability which, when contrasted with the physical infrastructure required to keep pace on premise, becomes far more cost-efficient than the latter could ever be. As such, it provides a much greater efficiency of resources and, when …

The big data ecosystem will continue to evolve and expand in the coming year, with a number of new developments pertaining to decentralized and centralized paradigms, automation, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and the Internet of Things. Jelani Harper elucidates these trends and others in The next wave of big data technology: distributed automation.

The collective form of Artificial Intelligence is evolving. Granted, it’s still a fundamental aspect of big data, analytics, and numerous cloud deployments. However, its propensity for personalizing all experiences of the enterprise—for both employees and customers, internally and externally—will surge forward in the coming year in a number of distinct ways. Previously, the most prevalent manifestations of AI included cognitive …

The endurance of a centralized approach to big data management in the wake of the increasingly distributed computing environments of today’s enterprise is more than just paradoxical. Each new cloud deployment, edge computing application, and architectural complexity merely reinforces the need for a singular means of viewing, analyzing, and deriving action from disparate data sources, structures, and formats. Initially, the …

The cloud has proven the most effective means of handling the influx of big data typifying the IT concerns of contemporary organizations. A recap of The Top 10 Technology Trends to Watch: 2018 to 2020 from Forrester states, “The public cloud is a juggernaut that is reinventing computing and the high-tech industry itself…applications are built faster in the public cloud, …

Perhaps the most consistent manifestation of the big data age is the expanding reliance it has produced on cloud computing. As the quantities of data continue to burgeon, the cloud is increasingly the most viable medium for storing, accessing, analyzing, and aggregating data at scale. The more prominent applications of big data today all but require the cloud’s scalable resources …

Traditionally, cloud computing was lauded for its pricing, storage capabilities, and intrinsic flexibility. The cloud’s inexpensive storage, coupled with price models based on actual usage accessible from multiple remote locations, helped this architecture gain traction across vertical industries. Today, however, these same boons have provided the basis for an expanded set of benefits that are solidifying into the foundation for …
